JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer at Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich, runs on NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips and NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking, and it’s had a busy year.
Key facts
- Training ran on JUPITER in under five days, using 6.5 petabytes of data from 21 post-mortem brains on 4,096 NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips
- Running on 20,480 NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips on JUPITER, the model simulated roughly 146 days of real climate into 24 hours of compute, setting a world record in global climate simulation
- Researchers at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), working with the jointly run NVIDIA Application Lab, also set a world first by fully simulating a universal 50-qubit quantum computer
- The research is led by neuroscientist Katrin Amunts and computer scientist Christian Schiffer at INM-1, Jülich’s Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine
Summary
As the international supercomputing community gathers at ISC in Hamburg this week, four projects running on JUPITER point to what exascale computing can do: map the human brain at cellular scale, simulate the entire Earth’s climate at 1-kilometer resolution, build AI systems for the next generation of wireless networks and simulate a universal 50-qubit quantum computer. “With JUPITER, Europe doesn’t join the exascale era, it leads it, across the widest range of science and AI of any system worldwide,” said Thomas Lippert, director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and professor at Goethe University Frankfurt. Four projects, detailed below, share a throughline: scientific problems that were out of reach on previous hardware are now tractable at exascale.
